Avast! Free registration is driving me crazy

So, I'm having similar problems with registration, but I have no idea what you are talking about in relation to MVPS host files. How do I find disable that file so I can try to register? Thanks!

If you don't know what the MVPS host file is (as it is something that has to be specifically installed), it is unlikely that you have it or that particular issue is what you are experiencing.

OK. So here is what's happened to me.

1. I open avast on my laptop. It says I have 29 days remaining to register. (This exact same problem is happening on my desktop, but my registration expired on my desktop today. I'm hoping that if I can figure out how to register on my laptop, then I'll be able to do the same on my desktop when I get home from work today.)

2. I click the register button, and Avast ask that I register with Facebook, or name and e-mail. If I try name and e-mail, the software says that my e-mail is connected to my Facebook account, and I must login via Facebook.

3. I proceed to login via Facebook, and avast redirects me to the my.avast.com homepage.

That's it. I never get registered. I've also registered via the avast website and tried to enter the license that Avast sent, but the software says the license that Avast sent isn't valid.

same thing for me
